As with any pointless list, this list of the 15 creepiest album covers over at Odee has its share of hits and misses. Anything current like Butthole Surfers or Lords of Acid just seems forced and lame. Ooh, a cartoon pencil jammed in an ear. Shocking. But some true gold awaits in a few shining […]

October 14th, 2008
KEXP in Seattle has posted its top 903 albums (after its spot on the dial: 90.3), and the list – as a collection – is hard to scoff at, despite the ranking order being grossly, wildly out of whack. This was a list voted on by listeners, thus, the crazy high rankings of “new”-ish albums […]

There’s no telling what horrors lurk behind such hideous monikers as The Color Fred, Comanche Abortion, The Pleasures of Merely Circulating, Chevy Metal or Cobra […]

Amidst the holly and ivy, head colds and lay-a-way lines of this most wonderful time of the year, music critics of all thoughts and tastes cozy up beside the fire and begin making a list. Was the newest Bruce Springsteen record naughty? Was the Arcade Fire’s Neon Bible nice? Checked over twice or more, he […]
